I really am enjoying them. I was so worried that we would be forced to watch them arguing morality all the time. There has been such a fuss made over the fact that Andrew is gay and Dad is a conservative Baptist(?). I love that you can tell Dad loves his son PERIOD.
I find Andrew to be adorable

Dennis and Andrew have TAR-watching parties every Wednesday night, and last Wednesday, Rodger Bingham (Survivor) showed up. Here's a small quote from the Richmond Register article, which can be read HERE.

“Survivor: The Australian Outback” contestant and Crittenden native Rodger Bingham was at the event to show his support. Bingham finds the “Amazing Race” to be even more stressful than “Survivor”.
“As far as nerve-wracking goes, you’re under continual pressure and you have to get from point A to point B,” Bingham said, “In that respect, I think it is worse than ‘Survivor.’”

Yes she was, I believe Tonya was too.
CBS don't really have the best track record when it comes to picking contestants fairly as the Mike Boogie/Sean/Gabe belly connection proves.
Chiara's brother is very good friends with Mike Booger apparently so that could well have had something to do with why she was picked for BB3.
